Hi everyone. We are two mobile retirees in Uk looking for a different holiday with warm weather in Feb 07. We have done the Canaries and Florida several times and are considering something in the Caribbean such as Cuba or Puerto Rico. We are NOT beach people preferring sampling local culture and peoples ( Inc drinks ) to sand . We are not too sure about the present politcal situation in Cuba at the moment. ANY help, advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Personally, I wouldn't automatically cross Cuba off my list just because of Dengue Fever. Just like I wouldn't cross New York or the east coast of America off my list because of West Nile Fever. Or decide to move away from the UK because we sometimes have outbreaks of viral meningitus too. Unless there are other contra-indications, you can do a pretty good job of protecting yourself from both Dengue and West Nile Fevers by taking good precautions to ensure that you don't get bitten by mosquitoes.
Also, if you are concerned about Havana, Cuba is a big island and the FCO advice makes it clear that the outbreaks of Dengue Fever have been fairly isolated. Santiago da Cuba is a long way from Havana and was the original colonial capital and a great place for people who are looking for more that just a beach type holiday. For example if you are interested in Cuban music then Santiago is definitely the preferable option. Or what about Trinidad? It is about the best preserved colonial city on the whole of the island.

Hi and a belated thanks for your comments on Cuba. You obviously know well and like the island :-)... Surely, we will not cross Cuba off our list for future holidays as its one place we REALLY want to experience. We are not too troubled abot the Dengue Fever but maybe, right at this time, the political implications regarding Fidel's health. Thanks once again
